August 2025 Cybersecurity Recap – SpeakGeek PCs |
 |
Cyberattacks didn’t take a holiday. From ransomware variants exploiting outdated Windows 10 systems to new phishing tactics, September underscored why layered protection matters. Here’s our monthly roundup of the most notable threats and key defenses.

|
⚠️ Security Alert ⚠️
Ransomware Exploiting Windows 10
Attackers are targeting systems that haven’t moved off Windows 10. A new ransomware strain is abusing unpatched software, encrypting files and demanding payment. Older systems without modern protections are at the highest risk.
Tip: Migrate to Windows 11 and enable next-gen endpoint protection with secure offsite backups. If you’re still on Windows 10, contact us to plan your upgrade and data protection.
